From forensic cyber to encryption: InfoSec17

Security technologist Bruce Schneier’s insights and warnings around the regulation of IoT security and forensic cyber psychologist Mary Aiken’s comments around the tensions between encryption and state security were the top highlights of the keynote presentations at Infosecurity Europe 2017 in London.

Tagg said a surveillance application can now take as little as an hour if everyone has access to the system and completes their part from application to authorisation. Before the implementation of Cops, this process could take up to a couple of days.

ABM has 180 law enforcement users around the world, including the UK's National Criminal Intelligence Service and the Metropolitan Police.
